Playstation 4 Users Can Now Use Controllers From Practically Any Console

An incorrect report on N4G yesterday claimed that a new Xbox One mod would allow gamers to use controllers from other consoles on that system.

Gameskinny has properly researched the device, and it is an adapter that requires no hardware modification to use. The device is also compatible on any console that supports USB controllers. 360 pad on the PS4? yes. WiiU classic controller on Xbox One? absolutely. There's even support for Keyboard and Mouse.

nice! but why? ps4 controller is awsome. no need to switch it out. well i dont own a x1 to judge that controller, and the reviews are mixed.. most say the ps4 controller is better but still you wont use the touch pad on the x1 and u wont ust trigger rumbles on ps4...plus bringing a x1 controller to ps4 means buying batteries...no thanks.

agreed it is refreshing... but these controllers have different features. so not only do you lose the touchpad on the ds4 it dosent have rumble trigger so basically you have a "naked" controller. shelling out $60+ dollas for a controller you cant fully use is just a waste of money...especially it you dont own both consoles. not to say dont do this..i mean by all means if you dont mind it, go on and enjoy gaming any way you like...this is just my veiw of this....game on.

I said the same thing , I lived my xbox and xbox360 controller over DS2 and DS3 escpcially do to the stick placement but if you actually use the DS4 that argument is nothing now , the ergonomics of the dualshock4 make the stick placement feel no different then that of the xbox and that's someone from someone who was pro xbox

My purpose for this is I have like 3 DS3 and only one DS4. If I want to play with other people on my PS4 I am forced to buy a new DS4. The DS3 should be compatible with the ps4 out the box not sure why its not so this is a huge plus for me. People with no friends or family and socially inept probably wont care about this but I will.

To me it's just what I've been waiting for. I have a custom built 360 controller that enables me to play with 1 hand (and a foot technically), due to the fact I lost complete use of my right arm (dominate arm of course) in a motorcycle accident. I thought I would have to wait until Evil Controllers started modding XB1 controllers, but this lets me play whatever now. It's awesome I can get a new console now. I am super psyched.

this is perfect for me too. i do like the ds4 it's much better then the past ps pads especially for shooters, but for me i still like the offset sticks of the xbox.

I don't understand how some people find it so hard to understand why some people prefer them.

yes our hands are the same size on both hands and the same shape, but for most people they do very different things with the two different hands. even though our hands are both the same, some people hold a pen better in one hand then the other. if you ask them to write something, it's easy with one hand yet you it's hard with the other.

for whatever reason, for some people, it's just easier to aim and move with the stick placement of the xbox sticks.

anyway, the more choice the better. I do wish Sony would bring out an official pad with the offset sticks, but it won't happen so this is a welcome option for people like me.

if they're differently shaped then they feel different because it's a different design. Don't be a knob, they fell completely different. Your fingers don't slip like they used to. It's a huge difference

The natural thing is to assume that I am a troll or something right? Cause I don't have a positive thing to say about something Sony made? How about you don't be a knob. That was my opinion and I will stand by it. The "triggers" are STILL squishy as hell and remind me of marshmallows. Just like the PS3 I will continue to use R1/L1 for shooters.

I remember those days when people used to read before saying something. Then again, that's an x-box fanboy for you.. Reading comprehension it's a gift that not everyone gets it seems..

It said on the headline "An incorrect report on N4G yesterday claimed that a new Xbox One mod would allow gamers to use controllers from other consoles on that system" Then explains that can be used with almost any console with an usb port...

Yes I remember that times when people knew how to read with understanding. You obviously are too young to remember. I was clearly writing that the title does not point out what the article is really about, and takes a biased approach.

I could see some people using the 360 controller on the PS4 if they want offset sticks. I'll stick with my DS4 for my PS4. The X1 controller is also pretty darn cool too with the rumble triggers, but the quality isn't there in my opinion. One of my friends' controller actually doesn't vibrate anymore. His girlfriend is pissed! lol

mine lasts longer than 4 hours...like 5 or six. i did find a remedy that works tho...i charge it with my laptop while i play...same for my phone charger i use them and sit where ever i want if i wane to disconnect i can and move freely but when im sitting and playing i and its low i just slap it in my laptop and continue...

LOGICWINS that's the reason why I've been hoping to be able to use other controllers. Another reason (fairly similar) is I don't need to buy 3-4 DS4 controllers I just need 2, when friends and family come around I have an extra 2 DS3 controllers (I still use my PS3) and BAM, we can do some 4 player (whatever game).

Only thing I'm interested in is the keyboard and if they get the mouse running apart from that the PS4 DS4 is the best Pad on the market atm.

As far as keyboard and mouse goes on console I've paid my way threw quite a few off the devices that allows for them now on console and the responsiveness is poor. Hoping this time round 1080p 60fps will help on that front.

I wish PS4 and X1 would just make official addons for there consoles to support this.Instead of always having to rely on third party.

Yes here comes the Wiiu Gamepad on the ps4, blank screen in the middle i dont care its just more comfortable having you hands spread apart slightly, and the wiiu analog sticks are better, more comfortable

For competitive reasons, I hope the PS4 or XB1 consoles can detect and boot. Reason? Pretty simple. I don't want to playing people using key/mouse when I'm using a controller. Not fair, not fun, and the game goes out the window. Ruins it online.

If I can use an xb1/360 controller on ps4,might have to get one. The ds4 is a big improvement on the ds3, but still isn't right for me. The grips are too small for my hands, the thumbsticks are a nightmare and the grip on the back.. I hate it on my nexus too. It's not like something that size is just gonna slip out?
